Today these horses are known for their beautiful black coat and their long thick manes and tails. These horses generally have no markings, although they can still be registered if they have small spot on their fore head. Sport horses have long hair on their lower legs, which is left untrimmed. They range in height from 14.2 to 17 hands high. The sport horses are compact and muscular, with a fine head and a thick arched neck. Nowadays there two conformation types: the classic heavy type and the more modern sport horse’s type.

Friesians need a great deal of care and breeding to keep them looking their best, since they have very thick manes, tail, and not forgetting their feathers in their lower legs. You can cut the tail if it is long cut it evenly at the lowest point with enough hair to get the tail to stay thick until the very bottom.

Between my husband and me, we’ve had more than two dozen cats as pets throughout our lifetimes, so we think we know everything there is to know about cats. But how can someone really know the answers to all of the cat questions out there?

How many cats you should have definitely depends upon a variety of factors. How much space do you have? Will they be indoor or outdoor cats? How much can you afford for cat food, cat litter, and veterinarian bills? As you can see, there are a lot of cat questions to ask yourself before you fill up your house with them.

My 17 year old and 16 year old cats have passed away during the last year, so we’re now down to two cats. My husband jokes about forbidding me from going into the animal shelters because he knows I’d come home with as many cats as I could carry. I just can’t resist their adorable little furry faces!

Additionally, they have several balls that they like to chase around the house. These balls are like cages with little bells inside of them. Naturally, they like to play with the noisiest toys in the middle of the night. Another “toy” they like is when we give them the ring tops off of drink bottles. For some reason, they enjoy us throwing them and they like to catch the rings in their teeth or by sticking a paw up through the ring to catch it.

Catnip toys are very popular with cats because they stimulate the cat and make it more playful. Even our older cats enjoy playing with kitty toys that contain catnip. It makes them spunky. Catnip toys are very inexpensive and you can usually buy them in packages of three, five, or ten. When thinking of buying kitty toys for your furry children this Christmas, be sure to throw in a couple of catnip toys. Your cats will love them.

Next week will be our youngest child’s, I mean, cat’s birthday. He is our only male cat, he is solid gray, and he is turning six years old. We adopted him from an animal shelter when he was two years old and have loved the heck out of him for the past four years. As the youngest, he is the only one who still plays with stuffed cat toys, so we’ll probably get him a couple new fuzzy mice as presents.

He will be joined at this cat birthday party by his older sister, a fat, white, ill-tempered solid white cat, and the stray cat that recently adopted us, an approximately ten year old solid black female cat. Being an outdoor cat, she plays with real mice instead of stuffed cat toys.

Sure, it might seem silly to celebrate our cat’s birthdays, but we don’t have children, so we treat the cats as if they were kids. Plus, it’s an excuse to spoil them with tuna and special treats. No, we don’t put party hats on them and take their photographs. We just let them drink as much Cat sip as they want and eat tuna and then retire to take, what else, cat naps!
